This illustrated version of the popular Passover song "Had gadya" was the wonderfully playful offspring of the avantgarde artist El Lissitzky (1890-1941). It dates to a little-known period early in his career when he immersed himself in the Jewish cultural renaissance that flourished in Russia between 1912 and 1920. Signed with his Hebrew given name, this volume - with its wraparound cover, colourful lithographic montages, and stylised use of Yiddish and Aramaic words - celebrates Lissitzky's interest in Jewish folk traditions while looking forward to the dynamic graphic and typographic designs for which he is best remembered. This near-scale facsimile - including the rarely seen cover - allows readers to experience Lissitzky's Had gadya as originally envisioned. It is accompanied here by Nancy Perloff's discussion of the work's cultural and artistic context, Arnold J. Band's English translation of Lissitzky's Yiddish version of the song, sections on Lissitzky's iconography and vocabulary, and lyrics set to music.

Softbound. Zustand: Very Good. Quarto, glossy illustrated paper covers, xii, internal wraps around the facsimile reproducing the covers in facsimile, 24 pp., color illustrations throughout, inside covers also printed and reproduced here. Edited by Arnold J. Band. Introduction by Nancy Perloff. "This edition offers not only a facsimile of Lissitzky's lively original, including the rarely seen wraparound cover, but also an introduction to its cultural and artistic contexts, sections on its imagery and polyglot vocabulary, a new English translation of the song from Lissitzky's Yiddish, and lyrics set to music." (From the rear cover.) The high point of Lissitzky's specifically Jewishly oriented work. What is most notable about this body of work is the attraction that Lissitzky had for what was pleasurable in Jewish observance and practice. In addition to the cover illustrations there is a full page color illustration for each of the twelve verses of "Had Gadya," the giddy, rauchous, silly and mystical song that concludes most Haggadot and Seders.
